Aren’t all thermometers technically meat thermometers?

I do think using a meat thermometer this way would be quite dangerous. 

note to self, buy stock in ThermoWorks this morning 

If you actually did that you’d see that we’re spending about as much as everyone else when adjusted for GDP per capita. Just look at the graph below, we’re literally on the trendline for spending. The reason we spend more than most other countries is that our GDP per capita is higher than most other countries. I guess…

He proposed $740 billion for direct military spending (lots of indirect military spending comes under other departments).

I don’t give a flying fuck what somebody wants to study. There is no such thing as a major that offers no career path whatsoever. For decades, people have gone into fields asymmetrical from their major. And not everyone is looking at higher education as a means to get a job. Some people just... you know, want a higher…

This loan forgiveness program is for public service individuals only who often get paid less than they would in the public sector. It affects military members, teachers and medical professionals working for low income areas.

I just wonder where the money is really going. tuition is up, but schools act like they’re just dying. my alma mater is considering dropping its theater programs, and it’s a liberal arts university known for its engineering program.

“Things were hard for me, so they should be hard for everyone else, too!”

“Why doesn’t everyone just do what I did? It must be because they’re stupid."

Back in my day, when Pennsylvania and the Feds subsidized state colleges enough, one could afford to go to PSU and get a degree in basket weaving. I work with several people (yes, they’re in their 50s, but still) who went to college and could actually pay for it while working a part time job. Unless your current part…

What a fucking stupid example. And everyone on welfare in the 80’s was a Welfare Queen, too. 

I just read a money diary where an adjunct professor worked 45 hours a week teaching plus homework grading time, and made 25k a year with no benefits. But sure, let’s pay them less.

68 billion education

So the guy who created a fake university that defrauded students wants to cut higher education? Seems about white. 

Let’s not forget that Trump also removed the restrictions placed by Obama on scam for-profit schools (like his name sake’s business school) that primarily target veterans for the GI Bill money and leaves them without an education or transferable credits. His Education Department puppet DeVos also implemented…

Pretty sure you just activated a sleeper agent?

Poodles are super smart, sweet dogs with great dispositions - but show poodles have TERRIBLE haircuts that make them look really stupid. There’s a reason everyone wants poodle mixes! They look so much better with standard cuts and not those idiotic “French poodle” blobs.

Once, when I was a much younger person, still practically a boy in many ways, tentatively feeling my way through life, painstakingly putting together the various pieces of who the man I would become was going to be and who was, in all brutal honesty, a little bit of a shithead, I contributed to an anonymous graffiti…

Today I learned that Rian Johnson and Karina Longworth are married and are now my favorite hollywood couple. You Must Remember this is one of my all time favorite podcasts and one of the few that I have listened to more that once - her blacklist series and Manson series were great.
